It's a major problem

FrankC — 7/13/2004 4:16:27 AM (archived)

There are somewhere between 1.5 and 2 billion Muslims in the world. The radicals don't represent a majority but the vast majority are of the Pat Robertson mentality.

Pat will condemn christian violence (anti-abortion etc.) but not loud enough. He has a "It's gods will" atitude. Fortunately, Pat and his ilk are a small minority of the Christian faiths and the lunatic radicals are a miniscule percentage.

Unfortunately, nearly all the "good" Muslims seem to think that "Allah's will" takes care of all problems and the other 10% are radicals. This means that maybe as many as 4 million (2%) are doing their best to kill us, another 200 million (10%) are cheerleaders and potential recruits.

90% of the rest are sorry as hell about it but apparently feel like it is Allah's job to stop it. They get as pissed off as Pat Robertson when confronted with the reality.
